For some reason the AA is re-spawning at one minute; yes, I timed it.

It used to be 1:30. I'm not sure why it was changed but can it be set back to 1:30. It seems like the other vehicles re-spawn at 1:30, but I didn't time them.
 
On Firestorm BF2 ,BF3 maps
Ive had AA vehicle respawn in after 35 seconds and 58 seconds I was on US side

It's funny that you mention 35 seconds. What prompted me to time it was on Caspian. I killed the AA just outside their base (echo side) and before I flew back to the wall (after a brief stop at Delta) I was being hit with actives again from the AA; which is what prompted me to time it.

The other vehicles seem to re-spawn normally; which is odd because I would think vehicle spawns are all the same.
 
hey its nice to keep flyers on ground from time to time
 
You realize the jet respawn is the longest in the game? having an AA that can spawn every 30 seconds and pretty much lock down the air 24/7 is pretty broken, especially on caspain boarder. Maybe a @Matt(FAST) could explain what kinda timers we have here and why there so short. I also noticed that the respawn time for the AA on Firestorm can be fairly short as well.
 
It's changed. I don't know why it's changed, but it has. It's a lot of work to destroy the AA only to have it up in 30 seconds or a minute.
 
Just take out air to air objective and fly high than normal you wont have problem with AA
 
@Matt(FAST) I understand the server setting is at 100%. But there is clearly something wrong if the AA is spawning at varying times as measured by Dogpen. I guess it doesn't much matter as BF1 will be out soon.

Interesting, I too had noticed something weird, not enough to time it...I try to not think about the detestable mAA except that I want it dead but I'm glad this discussion is happening. I just figured someone had stolen our mAA; but when I would look at the Battlescreen, I would ask myself "how did the mAA get there"? It was either that our mAA was stolen, or a fast respawn time, but it never occurred to me that the time was off until I read this discussion.

A looong time ago Mr.l3lue and I would count the respawn times and we noticed that back when this server had a gunship (and was known as Second Assault), the server crashed once....or maybe it was DDoS'd, either way whatever happened, when the server came back online and healthy, the respawn time of the gunship was noticeably faster (provided the team had a Commander and the team had the flag with the gunship captured of course).

Anyways I seem to recall that the time of the gunship to respawn was adjusted by @Matt(FAST) . This happened before the forum discussion about removing the gunship, and I think before this post was made by SunshineTheGoat.

I'm not trying to confuse the discussion, I'm just going by what I recall and I apologize ahead of time if I am wrong.
These are just my recollections and if anything, this discussion reminds me that DICE hates air.

It matters to me and those who will continue to play in this server, I will for sure. I'm happily avoiding BF1 :D
 
PREORDER BF1 Mex no lock ons or MAA. Get it Vato loko. I just found some 8 gigs of memory for my rig for 30 bucks so i might be able to run it when it comes out. I got it from memory america website yay!!!
Kan we also get Dragon valley back on BF3 map server since evry1 will be moving to BF1. Sorry to hijack thred Jmac. :)
 
On BF 3,2 maps ive been testing times of AA respawn on both sides and they are similar to each other they range from 28 seconds to 1 minute 53 second so if a one respawn earlier than usuall unlucky for pilots however some spawn later so i suppose its down to you flying guys weather you fly low or high
goodluck out there


P S
Its only pilots that is having a bad time of it
My Ucavs are still at same time Damn it

Thanks Dogpen. I know the server setting is at 100%. But the re-spawn time was always consistent. I don't know when it started varying, but it was within the last few weeks (maybe a month). I don't think it's a TBG issue. Dice Please.

LOL the pathetic, but true thing, is that when we the BF community asks DICE for help......this is our help from DICE, the former DICE Community Manager, he's still involved with DICE but they changed his title to another name....basically he still doesn't care and they don't care. he's still in the same position of authority, he just doesn't post that it's him who posts on battlelog anymore

DICE at their finest right here gentlemen, look at the name and tags and all you want to.
"Fixnow" was the name I wanted to point out
In the "PRESENTATION" part is where he would say he was DICE Community Manager, conveniently hidden these days because some of us BF crazies would be on battlelog seeing this mockery and call him out on it
